Webcomics

If you read the last post you will remember mentioning that me and my friend Benn have been throwing about our webcomic ideas again.

So here are some roughs, we aren't up and running yet but we have over 20 thoroughly planned strip ideas. You won't be able to tell whats going on and that's the way I like it, it maybe that I'm inherently evil.

People keep asking me "So whats your webcomic about" and it's a tough question. Though the way Ross described it to someone he knows is, "Shes making it with someone who runs Unknown Armies, that gives you an idea of how surreal it will be." Benn the guy who is primarily doing the writing for the comic is a superb bloke from New Zealand who I met via ORC: Open Roleplaying Society that runs every Saturday at Caffe Nero on Rose Street.

If you also look in my side bar you will see a small list of webcomics that I read. I also listen to a podcast called Webcomics Weekly with some pretty experienced cartoonists, Scott Kurtz of PvP, Kris Straub with Starslip Crisis, Dave Kellett with Sheldon and Brad Guigar with Evil Inc. So this really made me want to get back into working on the webcomics. If your thinking about getting into webcomics I would seriously recommend it.

You may have gotten the idea by now that I am in love with webcomics, though when it comes to printed it comes down to three words for me.

Calvin and Hobbes.

Thanks for coming by for a gander.

Cramond Ahoy!

I thought about uploading some more sketches but I thought I'd show you this picture of me on Cramond Island. As I mentioned in my last post. From left to right, there is me, my boyfriend Ross and Vix. This is also proof I do actually talk to socialise and don't just act creepy drawing in the corners of coffee shops all the time.

Yes we all look a bit out of it, I am doing that sideways look and generally looking a bit sinister where as Ross is actually posing for the picture, hes such a tart.

It was a really good trip, though I was awake all night and by time I got back to my flat I was ready to fall over.

There have also been interesting developments between me and my good friend Benn is the way of comics so we are going to start putting those into action soon. When we eventually get it up then I will post the link. So watch this space.

Thanks for stopping by, Laura xx
